Photoshop Boolean operation experience sharing

To the users of Photoshop software to share in detail the application of Boolean operations experience.

Share list:

Boolean operation I was contacted in May 2014, did not know what it is doing, the feeling should be mathematically will be used. Later I encountered it in the drawing of the mark, spent a period of time to do it, and finally I finished, I will be in a layer to draw an icon to understand the Boolean operation, hoping to help more people. Boolean places need a lot of practice to make a richer icon.

The tools we need to use are

We're going to use the elliptical tool of the switch tool to draw the shape of the cloud (in order to see it clearly, it will be painted in blue and then white on the last).

The first step: Draw a circle, then use the selection tool (shortcut a) to copy a circle and so on, and then draw the other circle.

Step Two: Select the largest circle with the selection tool (Figure 1-3), after the anchor point, press CTRL + C, CTRL + V to copy a circle, and then move the copied circle down to the appropriate position (figure 1-4), then select the previous circle to subtract the top shape from the Boolean destination (Figure 1-5), The circle in the lower right corner is obtained in the same way (Figure 1-6), holding down SHIFT and selecting the rectangle tool to fine-tune the shape on the following picture (Figure 1-7)

Step three: Next to the cloud's small tail, hold down SHIFT to select a circle and then place the shape to the bottom, then copy a circle to the appropriate position, and then the circle in Boolean operations minus the top shape (figure 1-8), using

Place the rectangle as the top layer (figure 1-9), then select a circle on the corner, the same way to get a rectangle, the circular execution to the top of the shape, and then the round of the upper layer (figure 1-10), and finally fine-tune the position, the overall change color is completed (see Figure 1-1).

And then again, when you use Boolean operations,

is useful, and the path's move, select, and delete strokes will all be used. Other than that

Also very handy, using the pen tool we can add strokes to the path, delete the anchor points and turn the anchor point to a right angle, and we can draw more complex shapes for Boolean operations. The combination of these tools will make more beautiful icons (complex graphics can be completed with multiple layers).

The following icons are my copy practice, there are insufficient places, I hope not to laugh oh. Hehe

Well, the above information is small to give you photoshop this software users of the detailed Boolean operation of the use of the experience to share all the content, you see the users here, now you know, I hope to bring you useful help.
